“Myst was successful out of the blue and we may never have anything like that again and you know what, I’m satisfied with that, I’m happy with that. But it’s also very satisfying for me to look at things in a different light and try again with a unique perspective.” – Rand Miller

Rand even said to me, “Endings are truly just another form of beginning.” (Deja vu?) And here I am, perhaps typing out the last phrases for JustAdventure about the Myst series that I will ever write. Like I said, this is a bittersweet experience for me. I’m sad to be losing my beloved series, but I also suppose that the time is right. I really get the feeling from Rand that Cyanworlds has something quite exciting cooking on the stove. And we don’t really know if Uru will stay quietly away. When I asked him about the novel tie-ins from the Myst series, most importantly, the fabled Book of Marrim, Rand smiled. He conceded that it’s his favorite story from the series and he hopes that it will be finished one day soon. I will be looking forward to that day.
